    I don’t mind know. It seems like an awful lot to ask readers, and as for sitting down with such a list on your own works…I think it’d lead to second guessing and over-thinking for me. 🙂

    Still, they are all great elements to look at and things I try to keep in mind when reviewing/coaching a book. The tough part about reading is that we’re drawn to different things, so no one version of a book will make every reader happy.

      It seemed like a lot of questions to me too. I probably wouldn’t try to answer all of them in depth, but maybe use them as a guide to help alert me to where there might be issues. Obviously common sense would also have to be applied or such a list could make you crazy. 🙂
